Loved it!

You've beautifully worked in all the prompts, even the quote was there subtley. I know the prompts were not easy to work with. I was curious as to what my giftee would come up and I actually liked the plot.

I just hope that Albus will grow up to be a normal boy even with his mother fussing and fretting.
Dumbledore - the one who gives insight, always has the answers. Loved his characterisation.

My only complaint was it was short.

Thank you so much Mystery Author, I'll always cherish this story.

Interesting story from what sounds like an interesting prompt. It makes sense to me that Ginny would "smother" Albus because whe hadn't been able to protect Harry when he was young. It was a treat to have Albus Dumbledore's poitrait's counsel.

Oh, that is so sweet. I love all the little details, like the idea that there are a bunch of young wizards named "Brian" running around Hogwarts, and the idea that McGonagall's password is haggis.

This is...amazingly sweet. I think poor Harry's absolute cluelessness was especially in character, and his frustration over Ginny's treatment of Albus is really clear (and totally understandable!). I think Ginny's helplessness and frustration comes across very well in the end too; I especially loved the last line. :)

I loved your unique characterization of the relationship between Ginny and Albus! LOL at Dumbledore's teasing Harry about Albus' initials. Great title, too. Wonderful story! :D
